  • I asked Linc to change the title.

    grep is your friend.

  • do you have shell access or just ftp?

    If you do you could run a diff against a clean copy.

    grep is your friend.

    yes. but originally the title was "something about trojan" and Schryvers said he didn't edit the title to say hgtonight's email address.. that is the mystery, as to who changed the original title to hgtonight's email address, not who changed it to the current title "PC compromised."

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

  • cwsurf.de is a free host, so it can be used for malicious payload.

    grep is your friend.

  • Im uploading my entire backup from last week (2.1.3)

    hoping the message gets out of my html... then updating back to 2.1.5

    lets hope its that easy.

    @Schryvers from my experience not. If you replace the payload you may not get rid of the exploit.

    The most frustrating one is where is one of the people with access are compromising the site, or you have a OS level exploit on your server.

    You could have had files infect locally then you uploaded them yourself. Or in transit such as a compromised ftp client.

    Who else has access to your server? Also make sure your host is up to date with security the major security concern like Heartbleed and Shellshock.

    grep is your friend.

  • @Schryvers as you did edit the first post it could have been accidental pasting.

    grep is your friend.

    but who edited it to hgtonight's email address is the big question.

    That was my bad.

    I edited his comment to have proper code formatting and one of my browser extensions seems to have put my email in the discussion title.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    cwsurf.de is a free host, so it can be used for malicious payload.

    maybe he needs a premium host :wink:

  • maybe he needs a premium host :wink:

    I'm not saying that is his host. It is the host of the payload of the script.

    grep is your friend.

  • @peregrine rofl i had premium hosts wayback in 1996 i tought i wanna get rid of the banners lets pay for what should be free in my opinion haha.
